If you are a web developer you will want to subscribe to this blog and get some of my oddball posts about everything having to do with our business.

Written by Marco Conti Wednesday, 22 July 2009 18:52
Recentaly I started a new screencast about Joomla called 10 minute Joomla! Tips. It turned out to be quite the undertaking.

Slowly but surely, my PC took the place of my Mac and when I started working on my own, my newest box was a PC and most of my software licenses were for PC. It was only natural that my next computer would be a PC.

My Windows Vista machine recently "forgot " that when I type "localhost" in my browser it would really be a good idea if I could get to my XAMPP homepage.

It's amazing what you find when you browse around the web. Today for instance I found this great little widget that lets you create interactive elemetns for your photos. It is intended for biographical data on people you see in photos, but immediately I figured I could really use it for adding interactive elements to my tutorials.
